Almost immediately after the champagne bottle popped in Colorado, high profile baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez and super agent Scott Boras announced that A-Rod would opt out of his contract with the New York Yankees, ending his career in this Bronx. However, baseball’s chief operating officer Bob Dupuy attested to the timing of the announcement.

“We were very disappointed that Scott Boras would try to upstage our premier baseball event of the season with his announcement, there was no reason to make an announcement last night other than to try to put his selfish interests and that of one individual player above the overall good of the game, last night and today belong to the Boston Red Sox, who should be celebrated for their achievement, and to the Colorado Rockies, who made such an unbelievable run to the World Series.”

However, realizing the errors of his ways, Boras apologized for the unintended timing of his major announcement.

“I apologize to the Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies and their players, Major League Baseball and its players, and baseball fans everywhere for that interference,” he said in a statement. “The teams and players involved deserved to be the focus of the evening and honored with the utmost respect. The unfortunate result was not my intent, but is solely my fault. I could have handled this situation better, and for that I am truly sorry.”
